For our students interested in making a more serious commitment to training and performing, we offer the WDA Dance Troupe. The Troupe currently consists of about 50 students all of whom receive numerous classes in technique in addition to private instruction. Our renowned troupe consistently wins the highest awards from the most prestigious competition organizations across the country, in recognition of our students' technical and performance expertise. While there are countless competitions offered throughout the country, WDA prides itself on challenging its troupe dancers at only the most esteemed organizations. The troupe continually tackles this challenge and succeeds time after time, most recently including top awards from the Youth America Grand Prix, American Dance Awards, and New York City Dance Alliance. In addition, our troupe performs annually for a series of charity events including Dancers Responding to AIDS (DRA) fundraisers and Paul Newman's "Hole in the Wall" charity event.
